[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 149034, member: 35"] Just for the sake of discussion, let's look at an actual shabad. There is more to the vichaar than meets the eye. I am going to throw out just a few questions? Once one digests the Hindu "myth", the elephant in this shabad has been rescued by Vishnu riding on the eagle Garuda. Do we seriously think that Guru Ram Das considers Vishnu and Garuda to be executives of the Sat? In looking at both the rehao line and the closing tuks, what is the message? If we think about it, the rest is context for the message. It takes some digging to know what the use of Jagannath signifies. Some research is needed. But does anyone seriously think that Jagannath is "one of the names of God" , as is so often claimed? The shabad says to prasie the Lord of the Universe, not Lord Jagannath. (btw, This week begins pilgrimages and devotions in central India to Lord Jagannath, his brother and sister. Interestingly, in these processions, elephants are the first of sentient creatures to be given darshan of his image. Only an FYI.) ਨਟ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ नट महला ४ ॥ Nat mėhlā 4. Nat, Fourth Mehl: ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨੇ ॥ Mere man jap har har nām mane. O my mind, believe in and chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ਜਗੰਨਾਥਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਧਾਰੀ ਮਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਨਾਮ ਬਨੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Jagannāth kirpā parabẖ ḏẖārī maṯ gurmaṯ nām bane. ||1|| rahā▫o.
